When films are superheated with rates in excess of 105 K s\u22121, the melting process follows zero-order, Arrhenius-like kinetics until approximately half of the sample has transformed. Such kinetics strongly imply that melting progresses into the bulk via a rapidly moving solid-liquid interface that is likely to originate at the sample\u2019s surface. Remarkably, the apparent activation energies for the phase transformation are large; all exceed the enthalpy of vaporization of each compound and some exceed it by an order of magnitude. In fact, we find that the crystalline melting kinetics are comparable to the kinetics of dielectric \u03b1-relaxation in deeply supercooled liquids. Based on these observations, we conclude that the rate of non-isothermal melting for superheated, low-molecular-weight crystals is limited by constituent diffusion into an abnormally dense, glass-like, non-crystalline phase.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1063\/1.4985663","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,6]],"date-time":"2017-07-06T15:57:27Z","timestamp":1499356647000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1063\/aip-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Melting of superheated molecular crystals"],"prefix":"10.1063","volume":"147","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3403-9785","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ulyana","family":"Cubeta","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, The George Washington University , Washington, DC 20052, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Deepanjan","family":"Bhattacharya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, The George Washington University , Washington, DC 20052, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7843-8692","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vlad","family":"Sadtchenko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, The George Washington University , Washington, DC 20052, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"317","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023071522395001100_c1","volume-title":"Chemistry of High-Energy Materials","year":"2015"},{"key":"2023071522395001100_c2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"17","DOI":"10.4028\/b-EZ0eLu","volume-title":"Electronics, Mechatronics and Automation III","author":"Ma","year":"2014"},{"issue":"4","key":"2023071522395001100_c3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2309","DOI":"10.1021\/cr3004295","volume":"113","year":"2013","journal-title":"Chem.
